My wife and I wanted to take our family to the Ocean. This is something we have never done as a family. My wife found this site that lists beach rental properties by owner...

http://www.vrbo.com/

Using this site, we found a nice rental property and contacted the owner thought the site. The deal is, we are to sign a lease he is emailing us, send the week rental + a $300 security deposit by mail and he will meet us at the property the night we are scheduled to arrive.

Now, I am a pretty trusting soul. But my spidey sense says.. HEY DUMMY! Are you really going to send a check for over $1000 to a person you have never met to rent a property you have never seen (other than web pictures) on good faith that he will be there the night your rental is scheduled to begin?

Doesn't this sound like the beginings of the "vacation from hell?"

On the flip side, this might be perfectly normal and customary.

Can someone "in the know" enlighten me?

I will be arriving at 7:30 am on a weekday morning, so I am really concerned about traffic. I need to get to Golden, which is directly opposite of the airport on the other side of metro Denver. (Golden on the E, airport on the W). Also, 470 looks to be a tollway, how much will it cost to go from the airport to Golden?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi! I am most likely going to be moving to Tampa area in about a year's time. And I was wondering what is a good area to live in. I will be attending Grad School at USF, so a short commute to there would be ideal. We plan on buying a small home, not renting!

Thanks!

I just would like to know how Atlanta stacks up. I live in St. Louis now and want to move somewhere that doesn't have nearly as harsh of winters as STL and I want to move to a city that acts like a city. St. Louis isn't like that...

I have three kids (11, 9 and 7) and we are going from San Deigo to Disneyland this Summer. I am looking for something fun to do on the way besides Legoland. Something non-amusement parkish. (We are from GA, so nature would be best.)

Has anyone been there? My kids have seen it on TV and want to go.
I need some feedback on it. Not price, I already know that, but is it good for a 11yr and 14yr old boys?
What sort of activities, and how are the rooms?
Thanks everyone.

Hey there, Question for those of you living in or familiar with Seattle.
I live in Austin Texas but plan on moving up to Seattle Washington in the next few months, but I don't know the area too well... I'm going to visit soon, but for now I'd just like to know what the zip codes are for the downtown area, and the nicer parts of town. I'm going to be coming up by myself, so I'll need some help. I work at a bank here, so I'll also be getting a bank job there, hopefully in the downtown area. So basically I'd just like to know a little about the areas, especially downtown, and the zip codes for these places so I can do some apartment and work searches from here in Austin. Thanks so much!

Originally coming from Florida, I know a thing or two about cockroaches and mosquitos. Are they pretty rampant in Seattle as well. I ask mainly due to all of the rain and dampness.

so as a person who has never lived in LA and based on information I got these are the most difficult things about life in LA?1-traffic 2- air polution3- high cost of housing4- crime and safety5- racial conflict....Is that true? So how do you handle these difficulties ..../I want to work in LA for 2 years and my main concern is how I can afford a safe small place close to work and how I can make sure I will be safe and how I can find a nanny for my baby in this city....and if I needed to repair anything in side the house how safe or dangerouse it can be to ask someone to come into your house.....I just wanted to ask people who has been living there for many years to tell me their way of dealing with these problems.....For example....I know I should get a place as close to work as possible...I probably do not intend to have a car or if I get one I am not sure how safe it could be to just buying and selling a car in this city ...many people say it is full of gangs and has high crime rate.

My four year old is small for her age and is only 38.5" tall. I have a pair of tennis shoes that will boost her up 1" but that only makes 39.5" tall. How picky are they at Disney World about the height? If she is .5" off will they stop us from riding?
